NEW Writers’ Group Incorporated (NWG Inc) is a not for profit, incorporated association, run by volunteers. All our income (fees, publication sales, grants and donations) is spent on our programs for writers. We publish a digital anthology Expression and the annual print anthology ZineWest (a competition for new Western Sydney writers and local artists). We also publish writing and images in our Pop Up Zine. At our gatherings we offer workshops, writing exercises and open mic. See Charter and 2023 Committee below.

NEW Writers’ Group Incorporated acknowledges the Darug people, the traditional custodians of the land of Parramatta where we meet, and where our online activity is generated. We pay respect to the elders past and present of the Darug nation and extend that respect to other Aboriginal people visiting places where we gather.

Charter: We aim to cultivate writing in Western Sydney. We celebrate and exhibit the distinctive character of local writing in its diversity. As an active community of writers we are committed to encouraging and supporting  each other’s writing progress. Our projects include writers working in a variety of genre and with varying levels of  experience. We do not discriminate on the grounds of colour, nationality, descent, gender, sexual orientation, politics, age, religion and personal beliefs. We expect all attendees to observe this policy and show respect for each other at our events. Participants need to be sixteen or older. Younger children must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
